I may have a problem. I just thought i'd throw this out of the opionins of the smart people (ALL OF YOU guys) on this board.
My son who is 19 years old does some very odd things:
1. still plays with toys
2. has yet to date
3. hears voices on a rare basis
4. has only held one job for 3 months
5. has little interest in getting a job
6. does very well in school (HS gpa 3.8 and now in college and good frades so far)
7. attend church better than i (also, plays lead gutar, active in youth group, subs for sunday school teacher sometime, ect...)
8. drives car with care (No accidents so far, Praise the Lord!)
9. no depression note so far
10. plays music, listens to music,
11. loves vedio games
12. has friends (about 2 very good ones and a host of not so close one's.
13. very good overall health
14. mother has BP
15. dad loves him
16. is aways on time
17. does what he is told
18. Very good kid/young man overall

Sounds to me like your son "Beats to his own drum". And that cant be all that bad...
Maybe when it comes to the toy playing and the lack of dating he is immature, but over all he sounds like a good kid. and intodays world thats all you can hope for.

Good luck mud. I do love reading your post. my dh is bp and its a tough tough world out there...

Meljo,
Thanks for your reply. Beating his own drum is a good one. I've heard it before and in brings up good memerorys of my own past. THANKS!
